About ldeafonts Qingyili 서체

칭이리(Qingyili)는 한나라 예서(隸書)와 북조 비문의 각진 필획을 바탕으로 한 중국어 서체이다. 이 서체는 전통 서예의 잠두(蠶頭)와 안미(雁尾) 획 형태를 그대로 유지하고 있다. 글자 형태는 곧고 견고하며, 자간 내부 공간을 약간 넓히고 획 굵기를 균일하게 하여 가독성을 높였다. 여러 굵기의 웨이트를 제공하여, 인쇄 매체와 디지털 매체 모두에서 제목용과 본문용으로 폭넓게 활용할 수 있다. 서예적 품격과 현대적 타이포그래피 기능성의 결합을 목표로 한다.

Unique Properties: The font is an innovative script that blends the aesthetic elegance of traditional Chinese calligraphy with the clarity and functionality of modern design language. Drawing on the structure of the official script prevalent during the Han Dynasty and the angular brushstrokes found in tablet inscriptions of the Northern Dynasties, the font preserves the charm of traditional Chinese calligraphy while enhancing its versatility for contemporary use, balancing artistic flair and practical readability.

Production Technology: Through extensive research of official script stone inscriptions of the Han Dynasty and the tablet inscriptions of the Northern Dynasties, the design team discovered character structures that align with modern typographic needs. Using digital technologies to analyze, extract, and refine the structure, they ultimately developed this innovative font.
Design Challenge: Most official script fonts on the market face two main issues: some overly emphasize traditional brushwork at the cost of functionality, while others sacrifice the script’s charm for functionality. The font tackles that challenge by drawing on the structure of the official script and angular brushstrokes, thus preserving the charm of traditional Chinese calligraphy while enhancing its versatility for contemporary use, striking a visual balance between artistic flair and practical readability.
Research: As a key script in the evolution of Chinese characters, official script features silkworm-head and wild-goose-tail strokes, expanded inner spaces, and upright forms, becoming a classic style of Chinese calligraphy. Drawing on the official script and modernized angular brushstrokes, it inherits the cultural essence of traditional Chinese calligraphy and meets the functional needs of modern graphic design and personal daily use, driving the diversified development of Chinese creative fonts.
Inspiration: Inspired by the traditional stone inscription style from the late official script period, it retains iconic features like the silkworm-head and wild-goose-tail stroke forms and the alternation of curves and straight lines, with starting strokes rounded and full like silkworms and ending strokes stretching out gracefully like geese. Incorporating modern font and angular brushstrokes, it ensures clean transitions and elegant movement, blending traditional charm with modern touch.
Project Duration: Development of the font began in January 2023, with the first weight officially released in June. By March 2024, the complete font family—comprising eight distinct weights—was fully launched.
Operation Flow: Structurally, the font features slightly expanded inner spaces and solid, upright character forms. Uniform stroke thickness contributes to a neoclassical style, while maintaining excellent legibility. Available in seven weights, it is suitable for a wide range of layout needs, from headlines to body text, and from print to digital media.
